Two teen-aged suspects, including one who is still being sought by police, were charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a Georgia police officer who was killed while responding to a suspicious vehicle parked near a middle school, authorities said Sunday.

Authorities said they believe 18-year-old Tafahree Maynard fatally shot Officer Antwan Toney on Saturday afternoon in the Snellville area, Gwinnett County Police said in a statement. Toney is from Bellflower and had spent his entire life in the LA area until recently taking a job in the Atlanta metro area, according to Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA.

Maynard remained at large early Sunday and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.

A second suspect, 19-year-old Isaiah Pretlow, was charged with aggravated assault related to a separate incident following Toney's fatal shooting, police said.

Both suspects are from Snellville.

Toney died at a hospital from his injuries, police said. The 30-year-old from Southern California had been with the Gwinnett County Police Department for nearly three years. It was his first police job.

"The people that worked with Officer Toney on a daily basis recalled a very jovial person who was dedicated to his job and dedicated to his community," Gwinnett County Police Chief Butch Ayers said.

According to police, Pretlow drove the vehicle from the scene following the shooting, crashed a short distance away and fled along with other occupants. An officer who was searching the area later encountered Pretlow about 3 p.m. Pretlow pointed a gun at the officer, who fired shots. Pretlow was not hit and fled into a wooded area. He was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals about 11:30 p.m.

The shooting happened near Shiloh Middle School, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. At least one officer returned fire.

More than 2.4 million pounds of ready-to-eat taquitos have been recalled due to possible contamination with salmonella and listeria, the Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.

The recall includes meat and poultry taquitos produced between July 1 and Oct. 10, 2018, by Ruiz Food Products, according to a Friday press release from the FSIS. The affected products are 4.5-pound cases of Go-Go Taquitos in “Beef Taco & Cheese Taquitos," “Buffalo Style Cooked Glazed Chicken Taquitos" and “Chipotle Chicken Wrapped in A Battered Flour Tortilla." The items were shipped nationwide.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness from customers eating the food. But the FSIS said people should not eat taquitos already purchased and to throw them away. The agency encouraged people to contact their healthcare providers if they are concerned.

Ruiz Food was notified on Oct. 16, 2018, that the diced onions used in the taquitos were being recalled by their supplier because of possible contamination.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Diagnosing the illness requires a blood or stool sample, as other illnesses cause similar symptoms.

Listeria can cause diarrhea, fever and other similar foodborne illness symptoms.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Sunday called the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at a consulate in Istanbul “a rogue operation” and denied that the kingdom’s crown prince or intelligence service had any prior knowledge of the operation, NBC News reported.

“This was an operation that was a rogue operation,” Adel al-Jubeir told Fox News on Sunday. “This was an operation where individuals ended up exceeding the authorities and responsibilities they had."

Jubeir said neither the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman nor “the senior leadership of our intelligence service” was aware of what had happened to Khashoggi.

“There obviously was a tremendous mistake made, and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up,” he said, adding, “That is unacceptable in any government.”

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is searching for a suspect who shot at six people near Florida's TIAA Bank Field football stadium on Sunday.

JSO said three of those injured are in critical condition.

The shooting occurred at about 12:30 p.m. outside of a laundromat at A. Philip Randolph Boulevard and Pippin Street about half a mile from the stadium. The Jacksonville Jaguars game was not affected.

During a press conference, JSO director Ron Lendvay said investigators believe the shots came from the passenger side of a vehicle. The victims – five males and one female – are aged from their 20s to their 70s.

"At this time we believe the suspect was in a vehicle described as a grey/silver four-door vehicle," JSO said in a statement, adding that is was possibly a Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima.

Lendvay said investigators are working to determine the reason for the shooting, which is possibly gang-related. The area surrounding the shooting is closed as the investigation continues – not because of an ongoing threat, Lendvay added.

The American Red Cross is looking for blood drive hosts to help prevent blood shortages and ensure it has enough blood during the coming winter months.

Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood, according to the Red Cross. The organization says it needs about 6,500 additional groups across the country to host blood drives in December, January and February.

More than 80 percent of blood donations are made at blood drives hosted by volunteers, and hosting and organizing a drive is easier than people think.

"Hosting a blood drive with Red Cross is pretty simple," said Joe Turner, who a blood drive coordinator. "The donor recruitment manager takes care of the drive logistics, and I help by asking my friends and family to schedule an appointment to give blood at the drive."

Those who choose to host blood drives are not left to do it on their own. A Red Cross representative works with the hosts and helps them plan everything. Equipment and staff are also provided.

Blood drive partners who host a drive between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6 will provided with long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirts to give to everyone who donates.

"When someone hosts a blood drive, they give donors a chance to donate lifesaving blood, in turn helping to save dozens or even hundreds of lives," said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Biomedical Services for the Red Cross.

After a fight that included punches landing and video of a spitting incident on Saturday night, the NBA announced Sunday that Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram would be suspended four games, Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo would be suspended three games and Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul would serve a two game suspension for their respective roles in the scuffle.

Ingram started the chaotic sequence of events when he shoved James Harden, and the 21-year-old had to be separated from officials in the immediate aftermath of the shove.

With tempers flaring, veterans Paul and Rondo began to get into each other's personal spaces. Then, Rondo allegedly spit on Paul, with film on the internet appearing to show saliva leaving Rondo's mouth in Paul's direction.

The Rockets' guard could be seeing wiping his face before putting his hands in Rondo's face. Rondo, then, proceeded to punch Paul in the face with a strong left hand, and mayhem broke out. Paul proceeded to land a couple of punches in the scuffle.

Ingram, meanwhile, sprinted half the length of the court to come in and throw and, seemingly, land a punch.

In the NBA's press release on the suspensions, the league stated that "Ingram has been suspended for aggressively returning to and escalating the altercation and throwing a punch in the direction of Paul, confronting a game official in a hostile manner and instigating the overall incident by shoving Rockets guard James Harden."

The league also said that Rondo had been suspended for "instigating a physical altercation with, and spitting and throwing multiple punches at Paul."

The NBA said Paul's suspension was for "poling at and making contact with the face of Rondo, and throwing multiple punches at him."

You've heard the saying "dance is a universal language," but dance programs, especially ballet, can be both costly and out of reach.

Two South Bay ballet instructors sought to change that by bringing the opportunity to perform, and a first glimpse of ballet, to kids who may never have had the chance to be exposed to it. Everything they need fits inside a simple cardboard box. They call it "Ballet in a box!"

"We were actually sitting in the office one day and trying to think, 'How could we bring ballet in another form to people? How do we make it accessible to more people?'" said Donna Perkins of the Redondo Ballet. "What about a box?"

The program starts with a performance, which for many of the students watching is their first glimpse of ballet. During the show, the box sits nearly unnoticed on the stage. What the audience doesn't know is that soon they will be putting on a performance of their own.

Once the dance ends, the box is finally opened. Inside is props, colorful costumes, music, everything the kids will need to put on a show of their own.

"You open that box and you just drawn into that world that should be for everybody," said Francesca Stern, who partners with Perkins to run "Ballet in a Box."

"Ballet in a Box" help bring ballet to students in communities that may never have see otherwise.

"What we do, not many people are able to have access to it," said Perkins. "Ballet tends to be very expensive. The classes are expensive, the training, the shoes...It takes a long time to be trained."

The dancers teach the students the routine, one step at a time. The connection, many times, is instant.

"When we bring ballet in a box to the kids who have no dance or arts to our program, they light up," said Perkins.

So much joy comes out of such a small cardboard box.

An elderly Palmdale couple that went missing nearly a week earlier was found in Adelanto Saturday night, with 91-year-old Pauline Davis taken to a hospital and 87-year-old Keith Davis found dead in the open desert.

The couple had been reported missing on Tuesday, Oct. 16, with the family making public pleas for help in finding the two. Keith had Alzheimer's and Pauline suffered from vision and hearing problems, according to the family.

On Saturday, a person riding a quad vehicle in the open desert found an unattended vehicle at approximately 5:24 p.m. and called 911, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The vehicle turned out to belong to the missing couple, and deputies began searching the surrounding area. Pauline was discovered and taken to a nearby hospital, but Keith was found dead in the open desert at 8:47 p.m. on Saturday night according to the coroner's press release.

Pauline Davis' condition was not immediately known.

Some stand out above the rest.

Clayton Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young Award winner, an MVP, and a seven-time All-Star. He's accomplished so much in his career that he's almost certain to become a first ballot Hall-of-Famer one day. 

However, there is still one thing that has eluded the great Kershaw: a World Series title.

It's the one thing that Kershaw covets most, so it should come as no surprise that the Los Angeles Dodgers ace was spotted alone on Sunday night, working out at an empty Fenway Park, less than 24 hours after he was on the mound when the Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 7 of the NLCS.

Kershaw is expected to be named the Game 1 starter on Tuesday, despite the fact he threw 15 pitches in relief in the ninth inning of Game 7 on Saturday.

His last postseason start was in Game 5 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, giving Kershaw five days of rest between starts.

While most other pitchers would probably just opt for relaxation and recovery during their off day, Kershaw chose to take the mound all by himself in the bullpen at Fenway Park to get some work in.

After staying over night in Milwaukee, the team arrived in Boston on Sunday night, and reportedly headed straight to the hotel. Kershaw's dedication to his craft upon visiting Fenway was all on his own accord, as the team is not scheduled to work out there until after media day on Monday afternoon.

It's noteworthy, that Kershaw has never pitched at Fenway Park in his illustrious 11-year career, so more than likely he wanted to gain some familiarity and visualization with the field before the proverbial "World Series Storm" arrives.

The temperature in Boston was in the low 40s on Sunday night, but Kershaw still toed the rubber wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, a Dodgers sweatshirt, a blue bandana, and a sleeve over his left pitching arm.

Kershaw's love of his craft and desire to win a World Series is inspiring, and his work ethic reminds us of another Los Angeles sports legend with an unrelenting drive for greatness: Kobe Bryant.

The Dodgers are the underdogs again.

According to online sports gambling website Bovada, the Boston Red Sox are the betting favorites to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2018 World Series.

Bovada has the Red Sox at -130, meaning you would have to wager $130 to win $100.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are listed at even money, meaning if you wagered $100, you would win $100. 

The odds should come as no surprise to baseball aficionados as the Red Sox were easily the best team in baseball throughout the season, winning an astonishing 108 games.

Not only did they defeat their rivals, the New York Yankees (who also won over 100 games), in the ALDS, they dispatched of the reigning World Series Champion Houston Astros in just five games in the ALCS, sweeping the three games on the road in the process.

Before the postseason began, oddsmakers had the Astros as heavy favorite to win the World Series and a lot of people believed that Houston was the best overall team in the postseaon.

For the Dodgers, the role of dark horse is an unfamiliar one as they were the favorites to return to the World Series before the season began, and in each of their first two postseason series.

If the oddsmakers are correct, it would mean the Dodgers would become the first team to lose back-to-back World Series since the Texas Rangers did it in 2010 and 2011. 

Ironically, the Dodgers were also heavy underdogs the last time they won the title in 1988, when they defeated the 104-win Oakland Athletics in five games, thirty years ago this month.

More than a million Flushmate pressure-assisted toilet flushing systems have been recalled because they can burst powerfully enough to cause the toilet to shatter, causing injuries and property damage.

Nearly 1,500 incidents have been reported in the United States in connection with the Flushmate II 501-B pressure-assisted flushing system. At least 23 people have been hurt, one of whom needed foot surgery, and the incidents caused about $710,000 in damage, according to a recall notice posted Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

When pressure causes the system to burst at or near a weld seam, it can lift the lid of the toilet tank or shatter it completely, the agency said. Another version of the Flushmate product, the Series 503 Flushmate III, was subject to three recalls since 2012.

The recall affects about 1.4 million units across the country along with nearly 17,500 in Canada. The units were sold widely for nearly two decades, including at Home Depot and Lowe's stores, and are identifiable by looking on the label for series number 501-B, a model number beginning in M and ending in F and a serial number that begins with date codes between 090396 and 120713, indicating the dates between Sept. 3, 1996, and Dec. 7, 2013.

Anyone with a recalled unit is advised to turn off its water and flush the toilet to release the pressure inside.

Flushmate will replace and install the recalled units for free. Contact the company at 844-621-7538 between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET on weekdays or between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday, or visit this page.

Two bystanders stopped an armed robber who attacked a couple while they were trying to make a deposit at a central Florida ATM.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said the couple was sitting in their car at the drive-thru of the Chase Bank on South Orange Blossom Trail when the robber "came out of nowhere" and tried to take the woman's purse.

Police said the 55-year-old woman and her husband tried to fight off the attacker.

Surveillance video shows the suspect reaching inside the driver side window and getting dragged by the moving car as the driver attempts to break free.

Police said the suspect then pulled out a box cutter knife and grabbed the woman by the neck as she honked her horn. That's when two good Samaritans noticed something was going on ran to get the attacker away from the car, police said.

The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction. Police said they believe he may still be in the area. 

Police is asking anyone with information to call the Crimeline at 800-423-8477.

NBC News has debunked a handful of allegations that President Donald Trump and others have spread about the caravan of thousands of Honduran migrants that is headed north in the hopes of crossing the U.S. border.

There is no evidence the caravan is being led by anyone other than Hondurans, despite Trump alleging that "a lot of money has been passing to people."

A former senior intelligence official who continues to be briefed on current intelligence told NBC News that there is also no evidence that any Middle Eastern terrorists are hiding in the caravan. That's in contrast to a tweet from the president implying the opposite. The Department of Homeland Security, meanwhile, is able to gather biometric data as migrants pass between the borders of Central American countries.
